SESSION DESCRIPTION

​

The first 30 minutes sets the tone for a response.  Now, after Incident Command Teams have adapted to a modified command structure to accommodate an extended, large-scale response, they need to shift focus to the strategies and tactics of responding to a more immediate, short-term event.   

 

This session is designed to train you to develop and facilitate engaging, efficient exercises that will train your Incident Command Team to get the response started.
